silver Alloy colour

Some were cast though, and as far I believe these usually went rusty like the clutch slave cylinder.

If it were me I would blast it then stick some clear on them so they didnt go rusty.

Im not sure when cast ones came in and exited?

related: You said you painted them...

I assume so they would look like gold zinc.

What did you use?
